Televangelist Pat Robertson has joined the chorus of conservative critics lambasting President Donald Trump’s decision to pull U.S. forces out of Northern Syria — endangering America’s Kurdish allies.
Trump was slammed by many of his usual defenders on Monday after the White House announced the U.S. will allow for a Turkish military operation in the war-torn region. Trump argued in a statement that Turkey will assume responsibility for all ISIS fighters captured in the region, many of whom were detained by Kurdish forces allied with America. The Turkish government views these Kurdish militias as terrorists — despite the U.S. supporting them in the fight against ISIS.
Trump shot back at his critics on Twitter by defending his position while promising that “if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey.”
Robertson said he was “absolutely appalled” by the announcement, warning that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is a “thug” and a “dictator.”

Shut up, Pat.
Go back to telling old guys whose wives are in a nursing home with Alzheimers that God will look the other way if they grab a little nookie on the side.
People jump to conclusions so fast...Wait and see what is REALLY going on before hand wringing and pearl clutching...
President Trump is no fool...
President Trump needs to be on the right side of prophesy.
I usually lose the Mandate of Heaven after drinking tequila.
If he cares so much about fighting Turkey, perhaps he should walk away from his moneychanger’s booth in the Temple and go pick up a gun himself.
Pfffft.. yeah right! Damn Hawks want more blood for their damn oil!
So basically what has “Pat” ever done besides pretend to be an authority on things?
“Pat” needs to shut her mouth hole.
Shut up, “Pat”.
Do not be surprised if Erdogan lets the ISIS prisoners “escape.” He shares their theology.

“I usually lose the Mandate of Heaven after drinking tequila.”
Aye, had to ban tequilla and llagermeister from my bar in my basement. Too many incidents of public nudity. Though I am of the age that it is other peoples problem if they see me naked. It is why I don’t own any curtains.
what does that mean?
Very long article, which I didn’t bother to read, which you could have summarized in 10 words.
AND if he does Trump will shatter the Turkish economy.
What should Trump do to be on the “right side of the prophecy?”
